re Maedhros |

Laying on of hands is an act that accompanies many rituals in many different
religions. Used even in christian rites to invoke the holy spirit.
Used as a way to confer spiritual blessings. From here I'm sure it started
making its way into fantasy and at some point made its way into dungeons
and dragons which, I believe, predates WoW by just a bit.
Wingnut, who doesn't play WoW, bringing you a history lesson on
behalf of the "U".
